PREPARATION

SELECTING A LOCATION

You can place the phone on a desk top or table, or mount it on a standard wall plate. Select a location that is:

near an accessible AC outlet

near a telephone line jack

out of the way of normal activities

away from electrical machinery, electrical appliances, metal walls or filing cabinets, wireless intercoms, alarms, and room monitors

The base’s location affects the phone’s range. If you have a choice of several lo- cations, try each to see which provides the best performance.

Cautions:

You must use a Class 2

!power source that supplies 9V DC and delivers at least

800 mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must fit the TAD-733's DC 9V jack. The supplied adapter meets these specifications. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the TAD-733 or the adapter.
